Ha -- you scoff at the possibilties, but I've been traveling back and forth
across the South lately, and I-85 between Atlanta and Montgomery rivals the
Bonneville Salt Flats for average speed! It's a little disconcerting to be
cruising along at <censored> mph and have a jacked-up '72 F-150 steam
past....
